What do white-out conditions look like?

I took this photo during the recent snowstorm.  This gives you an idea of how much snow was falling.  However, this is just a percentage of real white-out conditions, conditions where snow and wind combine to make visibility low. I can see a tree near me, which would have been obscured during a real blizzard (which happened just to the west of us). The snowflakes fell heavy and wet, so I stood in a sheltered spot when I took this photo.  Spring seems far away.
